    HEY! I got around to installing my $50 JBA headers :thumbsup:

    Actually installed these last weekend. But had leaks :(

    Turns out, the OEM gaskets "fell" off the raised port section on the headers. So I got some DIY gasket maker and made new gaskets.

    While removing the headers one of the bolts broke :furious: So I had to cut a section of the header to allow the use of a nut.

    I'm not sure what happened, but that bolt was not coming out. And I honestly did not feel like pissing with it. :D

    Pics are in no particular order.

    Yeah, but I think the majority is the cam. The headers seem to have really woken up the cam. Its got a .422 comp cam

    Yeah. It sounds much better driving it. Putting the motor under a load completely changes the way it sounds.
